Given how uncommon x86 phones are (a few asus, lenovo, etc. that did not sell well) I think it's clear the vast majority of waydroid_x86_64 are not phones, right?

Many people that use linux distros like postmarketos on ARM phones also have waydroid for running android apps.

    Right, but that would still not be x86_64 except on very uncommon phones. Look at the stats:

        waydroid_x86_64         181015
    waydroid_arm64          8718
    waydroid_tv_x86_64      3200
    waydroid_x86            1215
    waydroid_arm64_only     914
    waydroid_car_arm64_only 69

      that mystery was quite easy to solve via Google.

      Searching for "waydroid_x86_64 LineageOS 20.0" leads to a sourceforge page [0] of waydroid with LineageOS builds that have 70-80k downloads per month.

      It seems to be popular to be installed on CachyOS, which in turn is the 2nd most popular distro to use Steam (after SteamOS itself), so my guess is that it's a popular setup for gaming...

To get to 2/3 of US installs, you have to sum all this stuff up including waydroid_arm64.

    Are we seeing different stats? Clearly x86_64 is the vast majority of waydroid installs.
